Im not sure I would risk these new cells just yet. Mine arrived with 11 cells at 3.92v and 1 at 3.84.
Thats around 500ma of self discharge. Hobbyking said they should send me a new one but I couldnt take a clear enough picture and refused. They say I need to balance it and it will be fine. After having a ping battery that had a similar cell I know its always going to be a pain. Dammit, Il update soonish but it probably will work ok for 366 days till its out of warranty (do you even get warranty?).
Any thoughts?
how do you know it is 500mA of self discharge. i see no evidence you have even charged the cell up yet and you are already making this claim that the pack is defective. there is no evidence it is defective if it was never charged up.
now all the parasites are claiming how hobby king is ripping you off when there is not even the slightest evidence you attempted to show that it has a high self discharge rate.
then you go and claim that ping sold you a defective battery too with no evidence to back it up. just more of the same for the endless-sphere we know it all hangout crowd.
